Together with his 5 sons, Baron Alfred de Luze started trading Cognac in 1822. 40 years later, De Luze decided to make Cognac themselves in the Grande Champagne; with 400 acres now the largest vineyard in this area. The grapes from the 4 most important Cru's are distilled in 41 Alambics, making them the largest distiller in the entire Cognac area. The grapes for the fruity VS of at least 4 years old come from the Fins Bois.
